Field Notes **is the record of a territory in full colour: a book of
words and artworks that capture a year spent on foot in the Lincolnshire
landscape. It is about topography and time. Chalk and flint and marsh.
The coming and going of the sea, Neolithic farmers and the razzle-dazzle
of weary coastal towns. It is as much about the ghost of a mammoth as it
is the scream of a jet fighter, heading east. Each image is a still from
a film - a film that is under constant production inside Maxim Peter
Griffin's skull. Griffin's art is about taking somewhere and looking at
it over and over so that with each looking it becomes strange and new.
As well as being a testament to the isolated beauty of Lincolnshire
itself, *Field Notes *is an extraordinary account of what it is like
to be present in, to fully inhabit, a place.
